Cat Power New LP in 2022 Cat Power Previews two new songs from upcoming COVERS record - Billie Holiday’s ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ and ‘Unhate’, a reimagined version of her own song ‘Hate’ from THE GREATEST Listen to ‘Unhate’ here: https://smarturl.it/Unhate Cat Power, the singer/songwriter/producer Chan Marshall, today previews her forthcoming album COVERS(January 14, 2022/Domino) with a fresh interpretation of Billie Holiday’s ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ along with an updated rendition of the Cat Power song ‘Hate’ from THE GREATEST (2006), retitled ‘Unhate’ for the album. She’s also released a music video for ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ which nods to Lady Day as Marshall sings behind a classic 1940’s-style Shure microphone in a cabaret hall evoking the jazz legend’s beautifully restrained vocals. Watch the Greg Hunt-directed video for ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IRxf4Ll5EE&list=PLQqH9ipP84Qni0AUwbxa-X4ex-66OXAmq ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ was inspired by recent losses surrounding Marshall’s inner circle of life - including Sun collaborator Philippe Zdar, who tragically passed in 2019. “When people who you love have been taken from you, there’s always a song that holds their memory in your mind,” Marshall ruminates while talking about the importance that the cover itself holds in her heart. “It’s a conversation with those on the other side, and it’s really important for me to reach out to people that way.” As Marshall explains herself, creating a conversation that spans generations is part of what drives her to continue performing and recording renditions of others’ songs like she’s done here: “I play covers all the time, and it’s important for me to record them because it’s what me and my listeners both get…,” she explains, and in that regard Covers is an impressive document of artistic interpretation that is truly built to last.

Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall’s first band, but has become her stage name as a solo artist. Born in Atlanta, Marshall was raised throughout the southern United States, and began performing in local bands in Atlanta in the early 1990s. After opening for Liz Phair in 1993, she worked with Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar, with whom she recorded her first two albums, EAR SIR (1995) and MYRA LEE (1996), on the same day in 1994. In 1996, she signed with Matador Records, and released a third album of new material with Shelley and Foljahn, WHAT WOULD THE COMMUNITY THINK. Following this, she released the critically acclaimed MOON PIX (1998), recorded with members of Dirty Three, and THE COVERS RECORD (2000), a collection of sparsely arranged cover songs. After a brief hiatus she released YOU ARE FREE (2003), featuring guest musicians Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder, followed by the soul-influenced THE GREATEST (2006), recorded with numerous Memphis studio musicians. A second album of cover tracks, JUKEBOX, was released in 2008. In 2012 she released the self-produced SUN, which debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200, the highest-charting album of her career to date. Critics have noted the constant evolution of Cat Power’s sound, with a mix of punk, folk and blues on her earliest albums, and elements of soul and other genres more prevalent in her later material.
